Love Like Christ

#LoveLikeChrist

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Not hypothetical
Love...overcomes...
The hardest of obstacles.
Love's...outcome
Promises great harvests...
Even in the hardest.

A love unconditional
Going deeper every day,
Not superficial only on weekdays.
But on weak days it fights to be stronger than before
Instead of giving in deciding you don't want it anymore.

A love that casts out fear was a love that endeared.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is loyal not looking to find...
Temptations, abominations.

Love is more than a monotone recitation
Or some silly citation.
It's deeper than relation.
Love protects.
It doesn't expect...

Others to be perfect.
But love corrects out of another's benefit.
Love always hopes.
Love always trusts.
Love perseveres...

Love adheres
In sickness and in health,
In poverty and in wealth.
Love never fails.
No matter what it entails
Love will prevail.

  1. Hi Elaina, I am not sure if you read this or not, but I hope you do as I don't have twitter and don't know how to reach you otherwise. Anyway, just wanted to ask can you please pray for me that I do well on my "oral presentation" this Monday and that I don't look like a fool. I am extremely shy and when I have to do presentations in front of the class I mostly start to shake and am scared to even look at the people which makes me look like such a fool. So your prayer would mean a world to me. Thank you.

  2. I have gotten this Monday morning and you are in my prayers. May confidence flow out of you like none other. If Jesus is living inside you then you have authority in HIS name! I would love to hear how it goes. Much love to you and God bless!

  3. I'm the girl the posted the prayer request. Well, I wasn't shaking and didn't make that much of a fool of myself - wasn't as embarrassing as other times, when my hands would shake, my mouth would shake, etc... This time there was no shaking whatsoever, but I did forget few things to say. I guess the nerves got the best of me. But thank you for you prayer, it means the world to me.

    1. It sounds like in a way your prayers were answered. You are growing and you'll only learn to get better and better and to trust God no matter what happens. I hope you are doing well and I'll pray that confidence will continue to grow in you as you discover who you are in Christ.
